What´s the problem?

VIDEO_TS input is not supported for ffmpeg codec, only for mencoder codecs. Use VOB input, or switch to mencoder.

[Southferry]

And how can I join 4 .vob files in one?

(the movie have 4 .vob parts and I need to encode it in 2 cd's with ffmpeg)

0SEx can extract a VIDEO_TS to a single VOB file.

I try to encode a small .VOB file (testing the application in fact) to SVCD (NTSC) and I get this error too?

I installed everything... ?

This error means you're using the "Decode with quicktime" option on a mpeg-2 file without having previously installed the Apple mpeg-2 QT Playback component.

Workarounds:

- Install it, or
- Disable "Decode with quicktime" (risk of sound sync problems unless you encode PAL), or
- Enable "Decode with mplayer"
